[Jeremy Swan]

i appreciate your use of the rake brush ha ha. but in all seriousness great last few posts, i like the chick sketch on the last page not just because of boobs (+1) but because of the amount of depth detail. now back to work with you

[Ricardo Robles]

in post 3035 really love how you handled the floors in the 3rd one and the last one in brings such life into the painting

[Quigleyer]

The energy you're putting into your pieces is great. It really does look like you have fun painting. Keep it up man, it's gonna pay off.

[zou]

3035 is great enviro working

keep the fun, it produces good results

[MacTire]

Fantastic stuff man! Are you going to announce streams somehow?

Really nice enviros too, although watch out for the perspective.
Keep up the great work mate!

[Eightball_]

hey kostas, not sure if you remember me, but it's eddie (check your friends list!). haven't been here in a while, but nice improvement with the enviros man. the lighting and values are really nice. the only crit i have is to watch your vanishing points since sometimes they don't agree with one other. other than that, the speedpaints and brush experiments are looking good. very loose and energetic. i like it a lot. keep it up man!

[Kungfoowiz]

Damn, I love the cityscape bro, it reminds me of a game I used to play a looong time ago, can't remember it though =/ Was a qwl game and you played as a dinosaur and could 'eat' the city.. lull, was such fun =) Will try make the effort to come on when you're streaming =) Thank you for the video too, will check it out =)

[teapo]

damn so much work... i need to have the same work output as you XD. i just need to keep drawing... anyway, very inspiring as always. gonna make me work harder

thx for sharing the progress as always!

[tokotewhero]

cow 220 = fricken rad!

awesome envros too man, youve inspired me to get off my ass. heh

[jeremygordon89]

I'm really loving everything you put up. Keep up the great work!

[Windmaker]

Damn it, Kostas! Stop depressing me with your skills!
Also- awesome work all around! I love the way you're describing form with value changes. Very subtle at times. Aaand... also, this looks really good. Well done!
Other than that, it's great to see you tackle more complicated environments. The last one has some perspective issues, but it's nothing a little practise can't fix.
Yet again- thank you for the inspiration!

[Razorb]

fuckin awesome variation! tis a pleasure looking through your sb!

[knut-]

Kosta exeis ksefygei re man alhtheia...
Keep up man, just that. The first character is fuckin ridiculus!
A new concept artist on this sb gentlemen!

[dan liimatta]

Love your shapes and surfaces - they feel so clean and controlled yet convey a wonderful feeling and power ~ and as I look through out, especially when you give us step-by-step process gifs I love the presence and structure ~ I hatch and rework and attack again and again and in contrast your pieces feels more like water with a harmony I love.

Also 102 pages ~ a staggering number ~ I've only managed to go through 30 pages and I'm so saturated by it that I think I have to return for more later.

5/5

[DariusDs]

DariusDs-Thankiesss mate !!!

ok here somethings. Lately i had been playing mostly with modeling and texturing.I will not show everything but anyway


i did a comment that looks like a tutorial in CHOW 255#, maybe some can find it interesting.

[Ricardo Robles]

very nice sketches, and powerful rendering as always. Glad to see you are pushing the modelling too. As an advice, i´d recommend to refine the image in an uniform way, just to maintain a constant rendering level... anyways i believe this is a matter of tastes, but also consider it a good habit. Keep killing it my friend

[MacTire]

Wow, great work here Kostas! Really nice job on the chow, though I think there may be some proportional errors (the head size on the figure, the arm length). That being said I love the colour on this piece, really conveys the climate / enviro required by the brief.
Great sketches too, I especially like "diafores spoudes" and "kalokairi".
Cool 3d stuff too, looks promising!

Keep up the great work!!

[Emil_J.]

Great work on the Seren Chow, solid values!
Good luck with the new CHOW the design you have so far looks quite good.

[dan liimatta]

Oh I do, its not the first time I've been by - its just so gigantic that I've had a hard time to consume it all before I posted

Also lovely update - the ChoW 255 step by step is nice - makes me want to join in again and maybe ~ ~ I'd probably be stomped by that beast, but it would be a pleasure non the less.


& thanks and the same as you have done a plethora of delicious pieces.

[Mark Tarrisse]

Bro, everything is cool, especially that barbarian/brute guy is really cool.
But...... WHERE ARE MY COLORS MAN ?!? ^^

[Velocity Kendall]

lvoe the colours on this one. does he have an armoured penis?
